Start Jamming...
[F#m] He was [E] born in the summer of [F#m] his 27th [D]
year, [B] [E] coming home to a place he'd never [F#m] been [A] before.
[E] He left yesterday behind [F#m] him, you might say he was born [D]
again.
[B] You [E] might say he found a key through [F#m] every door.
[A]
[B] [A] When he [E] first came to the mountains, [F#m] his life was far [D]
away, [E] on the road and hanging by [F#m] a saw.
[B] [F#m] But the [E] string's already broken [F#m] and he doesn't really [D]
care.
[B] [E] It keeps changing fast and it don't [F#m] last long.
[A] He climbed Rocky [B]
Mountain [E] high.
[A] I've seen it rain [B] and fire [E] in the sky.
[A] The shadow [B] from the [E] starlight is softer than a [A]
lullaby.
[F#m] [A]
Rocky Mountain [E]
high, and the [F#m] hollowed out low.
Rocky Mountain
[E] high.
[F#m] He [E]
climbed Cathedral Mountains, he [F#m] saw silver clouds [D] below.
[B] He [E] saw everything as far as you [F#m] can see.
And [E] they say that he got crazy [F#m] once and he tried to touch [D] the sun.
[B] And [E] he lost a friend who kept his [F#m] memory.
Now [E] he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forest and the [D] streams.
[B] Seeking [E]
grace in every [F#m] step he takes.
His [E]
sight has turned inside [F#m] himself to try and understand.
[D] [B] The
[E] serenity of a clear blue [F#m] mountain lake.
[B] [A]
Colorado, [B] Rocky [E] Mountain high.
I've [A]
seen it rain [E] and fire in the sky.
[A]
Off you [B] got and listen [E] to the casual [A] decline.
Rocky Mountain [E] high.
[F#m]
Rocky Mountain [E] high.
[F#m]
So [E] his life is full of wonder, but [F#m] his heart still knows [D] some fear.
[B] [E] Of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend.
While they [E] try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they bring in a couple [D]
more.
[B] [E] More people, more stars upon [F#m] the land.
[A]
[B] [A] Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] high.
[A] I've seen it rain and [E] fire in the sky.
[A] No, he'd be a [B] poorer [E] man if he never saw an eagle [A] fly.
You've been watching Top of the Pops 2 [E] on G2.
Goodbye, until next time.

Colorado, [B] [E] Rocky Mountain high.
